UNESCO Centre for Water Law, Policy and Science

Description

The Centre for Water Law, Policy and Science is an interdisciplinary centre for research linked to fresh water, with a particular interest in the connections between law, policy and science. The Centre seeks to create an active community of water researchers from across the University of Dundee and Scotland more broadly.

As the UK’s only United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Category 2 Centre, members work internationally on some of the world’s most urgent problems across multiple sectors and environments and maintain links to an international network of water scholars.

The Centre was established in 2008 by agreement between the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the UK Government, in partnership with the Scottish Government and University of Dundee.

It also provides a hub for Associate researchers across Scotland working on issues connected to fresh water.
